      These marines really did take me back to when I was young and getting into Warhammer. I really do have a ton of minis that look just like these, so I definitely felt like I needed to speak about them as if I were talking to myself at that time. Unfortunately, I didn't get very good feedback when I was young and it wasn't great for my hobby, so I wanted to make sure it was the type of feedback I would have appreciated back then.

      I was just thinking the same thing. It would be so easy to disparage the painter, but he takes the time to put himself in the headspace and speaks from experience. No one is Duncan Rhodes straight out of the womb. Technique takes practice and patience, and you can't learn without making mistakes. These models were probably listed by the original owner or their friend who thought they were a "lost cause" and didn't have the equipment (sonic cleaner) or techniques (how to clean a model with only paint thinner, brushes and patience) to strip them and try again once they became more experienced. They probably bought new ones when they couldn't bear to look at them next to their current army and they sat in a box to hide their shame. I have a few models from when I first started kitbashing and learning to paint that haunt me so I think I know the pain.

    At a guess, the reason the Blood Angels had black trim but not black backpacks like the Angels Encarmine is because they're actually based on the second edition colour scheme and not third Edition. In second the Blood Angels all had black trim with red pads while the sergeants inverted it, the sergeant's inverted shoulder pad scheme survived all the way to now but the black trim was left behind a long time ago.

    Your kindness earned you a sub. As someone who grew up when being a nerd and hanging out a comic store to play games wasn't cool, I appreciate the white glove treatment of the original artist. This hobby should be a space for everyone and everyone is at different levels of talent as you point out. It also reminds me of some of my early models, the thickness of which was also because 30 years ago the paints were not as good in pigment OR medium as they are today. It wasn't hard to glob on paint just because else it didn't stick well even to a primed mini.

I tried to be so careful but I had no idea of patience, how to do what I wanted, or what tools I needed.

      I was in the exact same place so I get it. And I would hate to say something that would make someone want to stop painting! A little more practice and some good info and this guy probably paints just fine these days. I have only ever had 1 person contact me after 200 videos, and it was a great interaction! I got more clarity on the project and even made a second video talking about it. I usually tell the people I'm buying from what's going on, but a lot of the models I get are from someone who bought from someone else, so it's almost never directly from the person who painted it. I still hope that some of the original painters will stumble onto these and say something, it would be nice to get an update on their progress, or at least hear what was going on when they painted the model that I ended up with.

    For those in the UK, you can strip acrylic paint off old minis like this using Dettol (the orange liquid in the bottle). Soak overnight. Do NOT rinse your toothbrush with water while brushing, since the paint will react and become like sticky tar. Instead rinse your brush in the Dettol while you scrub.

    Then when you paint them not so much as you yourself might be inclined to do but with what they were trying i think that's another thing that makes your channel unique and fresh.
    Just a really great way to make interesting videos that encompass much more then just a painting tutorial. We get ac look at the older models someone's idea of cool from yard ago. A bit of a history lesson and look back through books and other media. We get the cleaning and repairs and then the priming and laying down the paints and washes. Then the re birth of the model.

      I have the same question. Popular options are industrial degreaser, methylated spirits (denatured alcohol in the US) and Dettol.

    thanks you sir. I am new to this hobby with some half finished projects myself and roughly at the level of original owners of these models. but I am still proud because they are my painted models.
    that said I would like to progress and learn better methods to continue with this hobby without breaking the bank.

    7:41 looks like GW resin that got soft by being in isopropanol. Maybe the previous owner stripped it. That doesn't look like something the original painter would do though.

      That's exactly what I was thinking. I stripped some ogre Yhetees like that once. One of the worst modelling mistakes I've ever made. Turned all of their limbs and so on bendy like that. They solidified mostly back up over time though so maybe not that in this example.

    wow, what a video. I've been thinking all day how to say this after I watched this so here it goes.
    coming in i expected maybe a few quips here and there, a couple jokes about the quality of the minis from ebay. instead you surprised me with the stance that you took: you were very understanding of where all of these painters were in terms of their experience, and you went even beyond that by relating to them when you were at that same stage starting off. that really stuck to me and it help me as well connect to these painters and even you as i remembered my own growth painting minis. i thought that was very special
    i really really liked that special touch you gave to all these minis once you got to painting them! what i mean by that is by recreating some of the elements on the original paintwork that made them stand out. i thought that recreating those special elements (like the checkered pattern on the DA) showed great reverence to the original paintwork and an acknowledgement of the original painters as well. truly fantastic, very wholesome. made my day!

    I don't paint Warhammer I don't do any of this type of hobby. I do 1/144 scale. But I watched your video because it intrigued me. However the thing I liked most about your video is that you did not make any fun of the people that made those original models. You actually gave them a lot of credit for trying. I think that was very nice of you. Please keep that up.

  • @the3curses
    @the3curses Рік тому +15

    starting the video thought you were going to replicate them with just better technique (get the original artist vision as was mentioned a few times). Thought that was a super cool idea and then got really confused when you started painting the black and gold model, red instead. I was wondering if I missed something but then I realized you kinda just did your own thing with them. Which is fine, and they came out cool, not trying to be a hater. Just found it weird you kept repeating about how you were trying to make them more of what the original painter had intended for them to be, but you only meant like technique wise. Maybe an idea for the video in the future? Even if the colors aren't accurate to the game you can try to actually get that vision from the original painter down?

    I'm starting up Warhammer via kill squad, and just the thought of me selling my models doesn't feel right, even if I stopped playing eventually I still put tons of effort into my "custom" hive fleet (it's just regular models with a scheme based on monster hunter) I'm proud of them and am Very attached to them, especially my genestealer I painted to be the leader. And I'd be too scared of selling them because admittedly, I'm a 16 year old with a budget of lack thereof, do they ain't good by any means. but they're mine and they're unique
